Small amounts of alcohol may turn down stress in the brain, benefiting the heart, new study finds

Featured Replies

Researchers say they may be able to explain how light drinking benefits the heart, and its main effect doesn’t stem from changes in the blood – as scientists once thought – but from its actions in the brain.

But because alcohol also raises the risk of cancer at any amount, however, researchers say they aren’t advising people to imbibe. Instead, understanding this mechanism may point to healthier ways to tap into the same benefit, such as through exercise or meditation.

For decades, large epidemiological studies have shown that people who consume moderate amounts of alcohol – less than one drink a day for women, and one to two drinks a day for men – have lower risks of major cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes compared with people who abstain from alcohol completely as well as those who drink more.

 

One drink a day will lead to alcoholism for many people. So it is not a safe practice at all.
